(Worthy News) – U.S. Supreme Court justices on Tuesday questioned a lawyer for President Donald Trump and a Justice Department attorney who are defending the president’s efforts to thwart congressional attempts to acquire his financial records.
The questioning occurred during oral arguments on appeals of three lower court decisions involving subpoenas of Trump’s tax and financial records.
The hearings amount to an important showdown over the powers of the presidency after Trump filed legal challenges to subpoenas issued last year by several Democratic-led House of Representatives committees and a New York district attorney. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
